This is typical Social Engineering
attack<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_%28security%29>which
are the largest in Kenya with M-PESA.

While Safaricom says that the money usually has been either withdrawn or
send to another account, isn't there a trail that can be followed , or
maybe have something like having the line blocked from withdrawing cash,
such that the lines can receive cash but cannot withdraw so that the crooks
can be apprehended.

The fact that few people are arrested for such encourages more people to
run the scheme.
